The 2010 EPT Berlin Main Event winner has made a great start to the day and currently finds himself sat with 37,000, despite his table being the toughest in the room.
James Sudworth opened with a raise to 250 from early position and when the action folded around to MacPhee, who was in the midst of a strange massage that involved him having his hair pulled, he raised it up further to 825. Nobody except Sudworth was prepared to pay that price, meaning it was heads up to the flop.
Flop: - Both players tapped the table and checked
Turn: - Sudworth first checked then quickly called MacPhee's 1,100 bet.
River: - Again both players checked.
MacPhee turned over , which was enough to win the pot as Sudworth tossed his cards into the muck.
Over on Table 21 Sofia "welll bet" Lövgren has just helped herself to a substantial pot after a multiway hand.
Martin Finger started the betting with a raise to 250 from under the gun. Valeriy Ilikyan was next to act and he also called, as did Lövgren called on the button, and Gustavo Zito came along for the ride in the big blind.
Flop: - Zito checked, Finger checked, Ilikyan also checked but Lövgren took a stab at the pot and bet 550. Zito then check-raised to 1,525, which was enough to fold out Finger and Ilikyan but Lövgren made the call.
Turn: - After the action on the flop the turn was met with a rather disappointing pair of checks.
River: - Zito almost instantly lead out with a 2,500 bet and just as quick Lövgren called, showing to beat Zito's
Fatima Moreira de Melo has doubled up to around 57,000 after being all-in with against Zoltan Gal's on a board of with most of the money appearing to have gone in on the turn.
It was galling for Gal who has been crippled as a result.
Pierre Neuville has dropped to about 20,000 after he decided to fold to Daniel Drescher's all-in river bet of 14,625 on a board of with around 16,000 already in the pot. Drescher scooped the pot with a slight smile of satisfaction but gave little away about his hand strength.
Unrelenting aggression from Lex Veldhuis has seen the Dutch Team PokerStars Pro's stack surge to to around 42,000.
There was a raise to 400 from [Removed:40] in mid position before Veldhuis made it 1,300 from the hijack. It folded back to Vitagliano who flat-called, and they saw a flop.
The trend for flat-calling from Vitagliano continued as he check-called 1,600 from Veldhuis on the flop and another 4,500 on the turn. Vitagliano checked again on the river and Veldhuis fired for the final time, this time to the tune of 11,800. Vitagliano dejectedly contemplated his remaining 18,000 in chips for some time before folding.
Word trickled back to the press room afterwards that Veldhuis hadn't had it at all...
Kevin MacPhee, joining the Hall of Moustache fame.
It's a pretty talkative table 13 today with Kevin McPhee, Kevin Stani, Liv Boeree, Luca Pagano and James Sudworth all involved.
Pagano made a good call on the river of what looked to be a against a 4,100 bet from Stani with just deuces to win a pot, but he lost some chips later to Sudworth. The young Englishman had fired flop and turn of a river but checked the ace to show which had just pipped Pagano who flashed the .
Sudworth meanwhile has been attempting to encourage McPhee and the rest of the table into doing some shots of Jager with him, so far no-one is interested. Yet.
